At Almec Fencing, we take pride in delivering tailored fencing solutions that not only meet security and functional needs but also seamlessly integrate with the branding and aesthetic requirements of our clients. Recently, we completed a noteworthy project in Knowle, Solihull, where we installed high-quality timber site hoarding for a company looking to secure and brand a construction site. Here’s an overview of the project and how we approached it to achieve our client’s vision.
Project Overview
Location: Knowle, Solihull
Client Need: Secure site perimeter with branded aesthetics
Solution: Erected timber hoarding, painted pale blue to match brand identity
Understanding the Client’s Requirements
Our client in Knowle required robust and durable site hoarding around their construction project. The hoarding needed to provide a secure perimeter to keep the site safe from unauthorized access and minimize disruption to the surrounding area. Additionally, the client requested the hoarding to be painted a pale blue, reflecting the company’s brand color. This request added a unique touch to the project, demonstrating the importance of aesthetics and branding even in functional structures.
Project Execution
1. Material Selection: We chose high-quality timber as the primary material for the hoarding, known for its durability and versatility. Timber is particularly effective for temporary structures like site hoarding due to its resilience and ease of customisation.
2. Installation Process: The installation was carried out efficiently to ensure minimal disruption in Knowle’s busy environment. Our team strategically placed the hoarding around the perimeter, following the client’s specifications for height and coverage. Each timber panel was securely fastened to provide a strong barrier that could withstand various weather conditions and potential impacts.
3. Painting and Branding: Once the hoarding was erected, our team painted it in a soft, pale blue tone, precisely matching the company’s brand guidelines. This step transformed the basic structure into a visually appealing, brand-aligned asset that blended seamlessly with the client’s identity, standing out to passersby and elevating the site’s appearance.
Challenges and Solutions
• Weather Conditions: Weather can be unpredictable, and painting timber outdoors requires consideration of moisture levels and temperature. Our team scheduled painting during a dry period and used weather-resistant paint to ensure a smooth and durable finish.
• Urban Environment Constraints: Working in a bustling area like Knowle presented logistical challenges, including space limitations and ensuring public safety. To address this, we utilised portable barriers to section off areas while working and scheduled certain activities during off-peak hours.
The Outcome
The final result was a secure, branded site hoarding that not only fulfilled its purpose as a protective barrier but also served as a visually engaging asset for the client’s site in Knowle. Painted in a distinctive pale blue, the hoarding was easily recognisable and aligned with the company’s brand, providing subtle yet effective marketing in a public setting.
